Obviously the doc has a duty to do what is reasonable
& best. Failure shouldn't necessarily be criminal.
I would argue in this case it should. Negligent and potentially harmful practicing medicine is against the law. The Chinese have had an opiate crisis in the past (I believe it's even covered in Farewell my Concubine). What the hell did these doctors think could happen differently? That giving more and more and more would somehow not lead to problems? That it wouldn't lead to chasing a drug high that is unobtainable due to the tolerance build up and other physiological responses?
Yes, they should have their charges stick, and those who haven't been charged should be.

Agree to disagree.
Even the court's liberals are on my side.
